Answer 1 :
It can. Depends of how good you are. Very good grades in college can place you up to about $50,000 or so in NY. It really depends where you work. Also earning a CPA after you graduate helps as well. Other great careers out of school would be engineering (electrical and mechanical pay very well) and in the medical field (i.e. Nursing, Physician's Assistant, ect. )
Answer 2 :

Answer 4 :
From someone who needed to use an accountant service for my business, I think it is a great way of making money. You only need a brain. You only sell your services, no product or materials. The only thing to watch is never to over charge your clients because they will soon desert your firm if you do. Most clients of accountants regard them as a necessary evil.
Answer 5 :
